Holidays

Kailash Mansarovar is a sacred site in Tibet that is considered holy by people from a lot of faiths and religions. This pilgrimage encompasses Mt. Kailash (Kang Rinpoche) and Lake Mansarovar (Tso Rinpoche), both of which hold immense religious significance. Notably, the region is the origin of prominent rivers like Indus, Satluj, Karnali and Brahmaputra. The journey to Kailash Mansarovar is said to be quite rigorous due to the difficult terrain. Despite the fact, pilgrims from all over the world visit this site in search of spiritual peace.

Mt. Kailash is located on the Tibetan plateau at an altitude of around 22028 feet. According to Hindu mythology, it is the abode of Lord Shiva who is one part of the holy trinity. It is believed that one can wipe away all his/her sins by performing a Parikrama of this mountain. It is not just revered among Hindus, but Buddhists, Jains and people from Bon faith as well. As per the folklore of Tibet, Mount Kailash is a natural mandala, which symbolises their cosmology on planet Earth. Just 18 miles southeast of Mt. Kailash is the Mansarovar Lake, the abode of purity. Taking a dip in its magical waters or drinking it is believed to cleanse all sins, cure ailments and rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.

Great tour! The way you guided us for all visa and other formalities of the tour eased us from all tensions which usually pop up when planning international tour. The arrangements from the team from Day 1 of the tour was very amazing. The hotels and food arrangements were well planned. The tour manager, Mr. Vipul was extremely friendly. After hearing from us, our friends now want to go in the same tour plan with Yatra. We hope to continue to plan many more tours with you guys.

The overall arrangements including the itinerary, hotels, food and entry arrangements were excellent. Our entry to Eiffel Tower was immediate, even though only 1 out of 4 lifts were working, while other groups stood in line for over 2.5 hrs.
Thanks you all for the same.

EuroTrip with Yatra was an unbelievable experience. All the "must-see" sight-seeing were included in the itinerary. The hotels and food were also carefully chosen to suit the Indian consumer. The guidance of the experience tour manager made the trip even more memorable. In terms of cost, after having done a lot of research, I think this is the best tour package in the country. Also the services which you were provide to us is really awesome.
Really, Salman's commitment was truly honoured
